Renaissance and Reformation Resume

Pieter Bruegel

Breda in the Netherlands

Objective

I think I was a main aspect in the development of Renaissance Art. My naturalistic depictions of Alpine and Netherlands landscape scenes gave new prominence to the subject of large landscapes. Some of my most famous paintings at this time were Netherlandish Proverbs, Battle Between Carnival and Lent, and lots more. For those two paintings have had a very strong impact on Flemish Painting because of it's interpratatio of folkloric traditions. Also my many paintings of peasent life have had people wondering about it because of my response to peasent culture and life. Also what great depiction that I put into my paintings. Two of my most famous paintings that you might know that I painted are The Peasant Dance and The Peasant Wedding.
